I agree with you that POPFile (using Perl, install file over 5MB) and Spambayes (using Python, install file over 4MB) are rather large compared to the tiny install file of K9 (116KB). From an installation point of view BayesIT and Bayes Filter ar easier as they are just plug-ins but my experiences with the TB plug-ins are not very positive...they make the behavior of TB sometimes very "strange" and unpredictable. Since I stopped using plug-ins, I've far less problems with TB. I've used K9, Spambayes and POPFile and my impression is that both Spambayes and POPFile "learn" quicker than K9.....but before we start a new string about this...it's my personal observation....so don't shoot me for that :-) -- Best regards, Dick ___________________________________________________________ I'm not afraid to die.
